To Carbon Label
or not toCarbon Label?

I believe (know) product labels, if designed well and thought through can make a very important contribution towards embedding SD into products.
So at face value I should be a fan of carbon labels…
(17 years in labels! – B&Q, FSC, ACCPE, Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption, FISS…)

Labels drive change; B&Q = FSC and Paint- ACCPE = car label and HIPs

BUT - Foot-printing is vital to drive the right decisions…

What does this mean for carbon labelling?
![Page 17: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The lesson from B&Q; ACCPE and SDC creates…
discomfort
![Page 18: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1) Climate change is not the only problem in town…

The Stuff Debate
If everyone in the world used the same amount of stuff
as we do in UK …
Finite limits of everything!
![Page 21: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FSC was about Finite Limits
![Page 22: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Does this help…
![Page 24: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2) Who will use this tool and how?
![Page 25: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Business and public policy drives change – not the consumer….
![Page 26: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Different labels are different for a reason

Not just energy related…
![Page 35: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What about use?
Co2 labelled peat is coming!
Carbon to dig and move peat to store – included
Carbon from decay of peat – not included
Decay = x4 more Co2
![Page 36: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Labelling – should not be a distraction for better solutions
![Page 37: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
4) What about green electricity?
![Page 38: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
And everyone’s going green
Nuclear?
![Page 39: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Do offsets and labels fit together?
![Page 40: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
5) What about personal carbon budgets (trading)
![Page 41: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Looking for reassurance that:
1) Labels will not distract us from big issues for some products
2) Labels will not distract us from better tool solutions (eg choice editing)
3) Product use?
4) We deal with eco electricity and nuclear queston
5) We know how to separate from personal footprint / budget
![Page 43: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
“Law of unintended consequences”
![Page 44: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Why I worry is...
Knowing the embedded carbon of products is good…
Are we using the lessons from other labels and think tanks?
![Page 45: B&Q – small steps over time – driven by the label. 10% of world’s productive forests FSC’ed - Marks and Spencer - Wyevale Garden Centres 1993 1997 1995](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551af2385503465e7d8b4f9e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
This is a huge commitment
I t will profoundly shape thedebate
Are we using the tool of foot printing in the best possible
way?
